Hey thanks for your advice. Replaced Pram Battery, and Repaired Permissions, and thus far it seems that things are working. Thanks again.

They are nominally 3.6 volts, but brand new ones will usually measure 3.68 volts, and will stay that way possibly for years. These batteries are essentially DEAD when the voltage measures 3.2 volts, or below. Some Macs will work with the battery as low as 3.0 volts, but that is never guaranteed. Losing your WiFi can also be due to a weak link to your router. If/when the link is weak, the connection will be refused, and you may be asked to re-submit your WPA parameters, even if those are already in your keychain. It is possible for the link to be detected, but then it is too weak to go through the authentication process, which requires that your keychain info matches the router info. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
